I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday P-C!

Hugs to all who want them.

My stress level is pretty good, though the weekly phone call from my folks doesn't help. (I am an adult, and have been so for many years. I do =not= need my dad to remind about things I know need doing. Sheesh.)

Cider donuts for the win!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I saw this gorgeous coat online on Nordstrom's. I clicked the image, pored over the pictures.

Then I looked at the price.

Wait for it.

$1400.

I screamed and closed that tab quickly.

Damnit, I think I'm going to have to concede defeat on swimming tonight. This storm is just not moving out fast enough.

Fine. I'm going to HomeDespot.

Would that be Cold Hollow Cider Mill? (Yes, as the picture caption says, we are dorks.) Those donuts are so good, I am willing to endure a gluten reaction for eating one.

Good luck with the hospital, ita.

Tep, I'm sorry it was such an ordeal, but I am super happy that you got the license! Honestly, now all you need is someone to sign it and a couple of witnesses and you are officially married. All the other stuff is window dressing. Don't get me wrong, pretty dresses and cupcakes and convivial relatives are good things, but if everything else goes to hell you will still get married. And that thrills me because I ship you and Tim so hard.

Fuckin' Webassign.

In Ohio, you don't actually need witnesses. The souvenir marriage license has 2 lines for witnesses to sign, but it's not the real license anyway.

Ohio is a little sketchy.

Ha! That's even better.

We had, like, eight witnesses sign our Ketubah, but the official license was witnessed by a couple of Temple Sinai's employees because they were around and that way it didn't have to be a whole production. Still on our wedding day, but before the ceremony and people were still getting ready and whatnot. It was kind of a nice moment, just me and DH and Rabbi Cohen and a couple of strangers in an office, and it was official.

Apropos of nothing except my dinner: I am so grateful to whatever hero discovered the bizarre deliciousness that is blue cheese.
